Engineering Design Process

What are the guidelines to help develop a solution?

• Criteria

• Constraints

• Design Proposal

• Refine / Improve

What is a way to manage simple projects, which includes the who, what, when, where and how to deliver the work, how the solution will be evaluated and often includes descriptions, sketches and technical drawings?

• Criteria

• Constraints

• Design Proposal

• Refine / Improve

What is an essential step in the engineering design process, and what makes this process unique? The design is constantly reviewed and revised throughout the process so that an ideal solution is developed.
